Any tips on how to get rid of moles in the garden?
Hi there. My mother is currently experiencing moles on the rampage in her garden. Like me, she loves animals and all creatures and does not want to kill it/them - just wants to see them on their merry way and for them to go elsewhere. I heard an old wives remedy of mixing castor oil with soap and sprinkling it on the soil mounds mixed in warm water. This annoys them apparently. Does anyone have any other tips?...no comments about killing them please!!

Re: Any tips on how to get rid of moles in the garden?
There are sonic mole repellers (battery and solar powered) for about £15.
'Deafening them'  works with mice and spiders, and those Mosquito machines work on chavs, so - probably works with moles.I have looked at Mole recipes, but none have mole as ingredients - strange that

There,s only one cure for moles, I have about half a dozen traps and usually catch a couple of dozen per year.
